This A5-sized black Rhodia top wirebound notepad features 80 sheets of extra white 80g acid-free, pH neutral 5mm dot grid paper. Each sheet is microperforated at the top for easy and clean removal. There is a hard cardboard back for writing support. These economical pads are a favorite of artists, designers, writers, and notebook fans for notes, sketching, and hand drafting. People love them for their grids, smooth paper, and iconic cover.

Dots are spaced 5mm apart, identical in dimensions to the graph ruling but much more subtle so it doesn't visually compete with your writing. Typically Rhodia dot pads have dots that are tight, gray dots, but for the top-wirebound ones they are slightly larger and purple, like the color of the Rhoda graph ruling. The difference is subtle but worth mentioning.

Staple-bound only to Spiral Believer

I usually go the staple-bound route but realized that I could use a swap for something that would allow me to hold onto my used pages. I just use these for quick notes while working, and I'm not going back, these are perfect. Rhodia paper is always my go-to for using all pens since the paper is so crisp and smooth.

Great paper

I have a lot of different Rhodia pad that I use daily and I have no complaints about any of them. This is really good all around paper for the money and I will always be buying more when I need it. I would recommend this paper to anyone.

Lovely to write on if using an ink pen

These are my go to notebooks as I like to use an ink pen for taking notes.

Never appreciated wirebound until now

In the past I've used this notebook in its staple bound format because I always thought wirebound wires would bungle up. Biggest gripe with staple bound, though, was I couldn't easily write on the reverse side of the page because in the staple bound format the page wouldn't sit flat on a hard surface. Wirebound solves this problem and now I much prefer the flatness of wirebound, even if it means I have to be a little more careful to not bend the wires out of shape. So far it's been fine. I prefer the bright white paper over off-white because bright white shows the true colors of the inks. The A5 size is great for note taking and brainstorming; the paper is smooth and very fountain pen friendly. The front and rear covers are plastic, not cardboard, and this offers decent protection for the pages.Every page in this notebook is micro-perforated so it can be easily - and neatly - removed from the book instead of torn from it. If only Rhodia would offer this wirebound notebook in blank pages instead of dot grid or lined, it would get 5 stars out of 5, but as-is, an excellent product. I give it a 4/5 rating only because there is no 4.5/5 which is deserves.

Great all purpose pad

I'm still new to using a dot grid paper, but I'm really enjoying this! We purchased this tablet for my spouse to take to work. As it turns out, I'm using it more and I find the size of this pad to be very versatile for just about everything.

Great Note Pad

This is my favorite material to take all my notes on. I primarily use TWSBI, Kaweco, and Lamy fountain pens with a F or EF nib and I I've always had a great writing experience with Rhodia paper.

Rhodia No.16

I love this paper. Very smooth with just the right amount of feedback on less smooth nibs. Dry time is pretty good for EF,F,M, and ok for B. No noticeable feathering or bleed with normal use. The size is great for a mini notebook or occasional desk notes with tear able pages. You can not go wrong with Rhodia.

Rhodia Dot Grid Notebook

I am extremely satisfied with the performance of this product, I use it as a daily journal with a variety of inks and it has held up like a tank, no bleed through, no feathering. Just a great notebook.

Great notepad!

I love Rhodia paper, and this wirebound notepad is just fantastic. Perfect for fountain pens and fineliners - no ghosting or bleed through. The dot grid is just the right color. Binding is smooth and strong; and covers are sturdy to make writing easy on the fly. A great size for everyday use. And Rhodia's microperforation allows you to tear off a sheet perfectly every time. Plenty of pages for a fair price. I love it and will definitely be buying more! As always, Goulet Pens is the best!

Rhodia No. 16 Dotpad Review

The quality of this notepad is great. It's sturdy and the paper is great. The dot grid is freeing but still provides a handy metric to follow.

Rhodia No. 16

I like the quality of the paper. I have used my fountain pens in it and there is no bleeding through or feathering. I think my next BUJO will be a Rhodia.

Great Notebook

I bought this notebook with the intent of using as a means to keep track of the work items I have to complete on a given day. It has been serving that purpose very well. The paper is smooth and have had no issues with bleed through, feathering, or ghosting. I like writing in it so much that I have refrain from just scribbling in it.

Excellent Choice

I try to write every morning and the Rhodia No16 dot grid is my notebook of choice. Any fountain pen in my collection writes well, smooth, and elegant, so that I can concentrate on the words not the technicalities. I have almost 2 dozen filled notebooks on my shelf. In fact this year I gave a notebook in addition to a foutain pen to special people on my list this year. For the shear pleasure of putting pen to paper Rhodia I excellent.

Excellent paper and handy to carry

Very smooth paper

I have used this notebook with a Lamy Safary (EF), a Pilot Metropolitan (F), and a TWSBI Mini AL (EF) with J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune ink, De Atramentis Aubergine, Diamine Syrah and Noodler's Black. The paper is very smooth so the ink dries slowly, but I have not experienced any bleed through or feathering. It has been a great writing experience with all my pens and inks. The dot grid has a very subtle color, it helps for guidance while writing without being too dark. I use it to practice my writing and to test ink samples. Great quality paper. Goulet Pens has great customer service, they pack the items for shipping with a LOT of care. Fast shipping and I received all the items in my order in perfect condition. Very happy with my purchase. I would definitely buy from them again.

Dots dots dots

Dots are better than lines, hands down... Little did I know all the connect the dots I did as a kid would prepare me for the Rhodia No. 16 top wirebound notebook.

My favorite note pad.

One of the best performing paper with a dot pattern. A good option for showcasing sheening and shading of inks. The wire binding lets the pages lay flat and use the most of each side of the paper without tearing them out. The paper also has a very slight texture which I prefer for the feedback. The only downside is if you have a wet writing pen or slow drying ink, then dry time will take longer.

Well worth it!

Rhodia is one of the standard fountain pen paper suppliers for a reason. A very smooth writing experience and well worth the cost. Placing the wire binding on the top lets me have a more comfortable writing experience for the whole page. I don't feel as cramped when I get to end of writing a line.

Love the smooth paper, Love the wirebound functionality!

I use this Rhodia number 16 wirebound notebook (5.875x8.25) for letter writing, planning and doodling. It performs well with the first two tasks. Doodling can be a bit less perfect because, depending on the wetness of the pen, it may bleed through. I do like the wirebound as opposed to the stapled because its easier to work with, no fold over on the cover. All in all, I'm very pleased with the pad.

Great quality, but...

I love this product however it does still bleed of course, with my fountain pen, but we'll see with other various pens
